CHILD SAFETY
PROPER TELEVISION PLACEMENT MATTERS
THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY CARES
Manufacturers, retailers and the rest of the consumer electronics industry are committed
to making home entertainment safe and enjoyable.
As you enjoy your television, please note that all televisions - new and old- must be
supported on proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Televisions that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases,
shelves, desks, speakers, chests, carts, etc., may fall over, resulting in injury.
TUNE IN TO SAFETY
ALWAYS follow the manufacturers recommendations for the safe installation of your
television.
ALWAYS read and follow all instructions for proper use of your television.
NEVER allow children to climb on or play on the television or the furniture on which the
television is placed.
NEVER place the television on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest
of drawers.
ALWAYS install the television where it cannot be pushed, pulled over or knocked down.
ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to the television so that they cannot be
tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNT YOUR TELEVISION
ALWAYS contact your retailer about professional installation if you have any doubts
about your ability to safely mount your television.
ALWAYS use a mount that has been recommended by the television manufacturer and
has a safety certification by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
ALWAYS follow all instructions supplied by the television and mount manufacturers.
ALWAYS make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are mounting the television is
appropriate. Some mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls and ceilings with
steel studs or cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
Televisions can be heavy. A minimum of two people is required for a wall or ceiling
mount installation.
MOVING AN OLDER TELEVISION TO A NEW PLACE IN YOUR
HOME
Many new television buyers move their older CRT televisions into a secondary room after
the purchase of a flat-panel television. Special care should be made in the placement of
older CRT televisions.
ALWAYS place your older CRT television on furniture that is sturdy and appropriate for its
size and weight.
NEVER place your older CRT television on a dresser where children may be tempted to
use the drawers to climb.
ALWAYS make sure your older CRT television does not hang over the edge of your
furniture.

An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.
Handling the LCD panel
Your TVs screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or
hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen
breaks, be careful of broken glass.
If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you
do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin
inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle, rinse,
and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in
your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor
after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean
water.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure that
the service technician uses replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other
hazards.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this device, ask
the service technician to perform routine safety checks
to determine that your TV is in correct operating
condition.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that
dangerous voltage
constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within your TV.
This label is located on the
back of your TV.
This symbol indicates that
there are important operating
and maintenance instructions
in the literature accompanying
your TV.

Power source
Operate your TV only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supplied to your home, consult an
electrician or your local power company.
Servicing
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified
service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not perform any servicing other than that
contained in the operating instructions unless you are
qualified to do so.
Caution
Damage requiring service
Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
your TV.
If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
If your TV does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions because
incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal
operation.
If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
When your TV exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides
information with respect to correct grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV system installer
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 40 provides guidance for correct grounding.
Specifically, it states that the cable ground must be
connected to the grounding system of the building as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Condensation
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from
cool surroundings into a warm room or if the
temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this
happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To
prevent this, let the TV stand in its new surroundings for
about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that
the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the
TV is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In
such cases, change the location of the TV.
Mobile telephone warning
To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound,
operating problems, or even damage, keep your
cordless and cellular telephones away from the TV.
End of life directives
Your TV may contain materials that are regulated for
environmental reasons. Your TV also contains materials
that can be recycled and reused. To help protect the
environment, contact your local authorities for
information about disposal or recycling and about
finding a recycler in your area before you dispose of
your TV.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film
transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video
quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may
appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point.
These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the
performance of your TV, and are not considered defects.
